help needed to use nsis

[DevD]

Hello everyone,I'm new to packaging and nsis is my first experience,i've read the user manual provided with nsis,written some small basic installers but now am facing challenge in creating installer which checks cpu if 64 bit or not,os version win 7 or not,ram size,IE version,MS office installed or not,user-admin or not.I've found these scripts on this forum but have no idea how to deploy it,so can anybody provide me with any tutorial links or materials for writing more effective installers?
Regards,
DevD

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Get_Inte...plorer_version is rather outdated and will report '9' for 10 and 11. Microsoft recommends you detect the version by reading it from iexplore.exe instead (use GetFileVersion).

I have already explained you need to use GetFileVersion (look for it in the manual). You know where iexplore.exe is ($PROGRAMFILES).
